Why Orville Wright Doesn^t Talk
Orville Wright at a dinner in Dayton was re- iDroached for not taking up the challenge of the Smithsonian Institution that it was Langley, not the Wrights, who was the first to fiy. “The trouble with you, Orville,” said a banker, “is that you are too taciturn. You don’t assert yourself enough. You should pressagentize more.” “My dear friend,” Orville Wright answered, “the best talker and the worst flyer among the
birds is the parrot.”- TAc Shaft.
